Following are my top five personal favorite antioxidants, with information on what foods and beverages contain them. In chapter 10, you’ll learn how to incorporate them into your diet.

• Vitamin C, to help synthesize collagen and prevent and treat UV-induced damage—oranges, red bell peppers, kale, brussels sprouts, broccoli, strawberries, grapefruit, guava

• Lycopene, to help stabilize DNA structures in the nuclei of skin cells and promote smoother skin—mostly found in tomatoes, but there are small amounts in guava, watermelon, and pink grapefruit

• Polyphenols, to help repair damaged skin and restore elasticity—these are the flavonoids and catechins (powerful antioxidants) found in green tea, dark chocolate, blackberries, cherries, guava, and apples

• Zinc, to help support antioxidant pathways—oysters, red meat, poultry, beans, nuts, whole grains

• Vitamin E, to help protect sebum from inflammatory damage—found in almonds, sunflower seeds, avocados, olives, and spinach
